Shs clearly does not understand what it means to work the night shift.

HOW LONG DOES SHE (and her camp.) THINK THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WILL BE FOOLED BY THIS SLAP IN THE FACE ADVERTISING?

WE ARE NOT FOOLED........

YOU NEVER WORKED A JOB THAT HAD YOU AWAY FROM HOME,YOUR KIDS AND LOVED ONES.

YOU NEVER WATCHED THE SUN COME UP IN THE MORNING WHILE AT WORK . TRYING TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.

As someone who used to work a lot of midnight-8am night shifts and aware of what that does to your body, mind, and relationship to the rest of the world, I find it a bit condescending for her to say she's worked the night shift too. I'm sure she works hard, but don't use that phrase so coyly.

The truth is, she's not lying. As a blue collar upstate New Yorker I can honestly say she is one of the few who's had our backs!

Whatever, she's so fake, phony and two- faced. I work 12 hour nights also, and not behind a desk.

Working late should have shown Billary shreding the tax docs she's hiding!!!

HRC may have worked some "late nights" but never a traditional night shift and definintely not for the wage that a vast majoirty of traditional night shift workers earn. Give me a break here.

Exactly when did she work the night shift? I wish our politicians would stick to factual claims.

I am tired of all of them and have decided I am giving Barack my vote.

RIDICULOUS! Does Hillary understand what it means to work the night shift? She will do and say anything to get the nomination.

There is a huge difference in working late at my desk and working the night shift. Give me a break! She doesn't have a clue as to working the night shift. Those of us that work the night shift have no sympathy for her.......Get a real job and work the night shift.

Aw come on Hillary .... the night shift?

Working late at her desk? You've gotta be kidding! I laughed at this! I mean, is that even comparable to working in a factory or restaurant or hospital???? Who are her advisers? There's two kinds of late shifts. I have pulled some long nights myself, but I wouldn't compare the two. Ya know?

That is too funny for words. Clinton has never had an economically hard day in her life. She chose to make a ton of money off of law work and big corporations.

She has stooped to a new level.

I don't think the Clintons have experienced hardships.
Take Chelsea: Right out of college she landed on a 6 figure job, that is $100,000 a year (or more) while many people, including people with PhD's don't reach that level of compensation during their lifetime

Now that is comedy. Next it's going to be, "I was poor once too, I remember what it was like to be hurting for money"

In Congress there are showhorses and workhorses. Hillary takes her job seriously and I have no doubt she has worked late into the night since she is a proven workhorse.

And like so many Americans, she was an employee of Wal-Mart! Of course, sitting on the Board of Directors isn't exactly the same thing as standing at the cash register until dawn.

If Hillary is so pro-blue-collar, why is she serving the interests of the Insurance Companies instead of protecting the the poor? Forcing the poorest Americans to buy insurance they can't afford isn't in THEIR interests!

Get real, Hillary. Even more than the Republicans, you're the Big Money candidate, not the Blue Collar candidate.

Working the night shift will soon be the norm in order for the American people to get health care coverage under Hillary's plan. We'll all be working second (& third) jobs!

"oh boy! Hillary is one of us! She's so blue-collar and average. We all know that every factory worker has millions of spare dollars just laying around to donate to ourselves. She really represents us good! Girl power!!"

Wow... how patronizing can you get.

Well, I worked the "night shift" to help put myself through college and to also support my 4 children. We called it the "graveyard shift." Now I work at my desk late at night too. Hmmmm...I am 55 yrs old, and I can't remember anything Hillary did for me...So what is she promising to do for those people working the night shift niow???? I guess this is just an "empathy" ad. I guess she stays up late at night in her office "thinking" about those night shift workers. How nice. Something tells me she is staying up late at night trying to figure out how she can enhance her career... or maybe she is trading cattle futures online or something. Sorry, I don't buy it....and thinking people won't buy it either.

I know Hillary has been working day and night for this country for 35 years. I have so much respect for her and her husband and I hope she becomes President in November 2008...God bless her!
